I've seen this movie three times now. And I'm now convinced it's the best movie made, probably in the last 5 or 6 years at least. I don't want to give anything away, I do want to urge you to go see it while you still can. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwsgkurfCjE

Michael Caine was superb; i thought he carried this film and would get at least a best supporting actor nomination.
I lost interest when Caine's part was over, maybe i will watch it again.

Julianne Moore and Clive Owen played their parts as usual, ie. brilliant and terrible, respectively.
Admittedly, Owen is probably at his best in this film. I do wonder how he manages to get such roles.

I'll wait for the DVD.
Alfonso Cuaron is one of the best directors around so hopefully I'll see this sometime.

Hmm, the picture ain't showing?

No, not about the Lennon doc. Merely a picture of Michael Caine looking Lennon-ish. I wasn't clear in my ... writing. Sorry.

I loved that movie. I was really disappointed when it didn't get an oscar nod for best picture, and even more so when it lost the adapted screenplay category.
